    I Just Bought A Multimedia Computer, I'm Trying To Hook Up My ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series All In Wonder Card To My Toshiba TV Via The S Video Port On The Computer To The S VIDeo Port To The TV And Nothing Appears, I've Also Tried Via Composite Video From The Card To The Composite Video To The TV And Nothing Appears. What Am I Missing To Make Anything Appear On The TV

    you need to set the card to display on the tv. wire up your s-video lead then right click your desktop and go to properties, click the settings tab the n click on the button that says advanced,

    click on the tab for your graphics card and have a look for the tv-out settings,

    You also have to change the signal source on your TV.

    yeh thats right youll have to have tv set to AV or EXT or whatever it is on your TV... set the driver up first to display through the tv and then look through the channels
